Oh happy day, I'm about to go through the roof. Took it to an actual ford mechanic who just got back in town. He has suggested replacing all synchros and a timing chain of all things… and has also told me never to take it to who I previously took it to as all he does is scam women out of their...

I'll have the guy check it out. The previous owner really drove my poor car into the ground.. its engine is really worn.

Well, really BAD news. The hydraulic lifters in the engine are bad and they've worn the engine out - it'll have to be replaced. Oh, and the previous owner broke some dog teeth. More than a few. Trans is having to go too….. It's gonna be $4,000 for both new-ish parts and labor.

Right, sorry about the trans error - It's still a heck of a lot of bother for me though so no matter what it is it's dreaded. And yeah, I'm thinking it is the clutch - it's at the shop right now waiting on the mechanic to get around to it, hoping I hear about it soon.

And as for miles on the clutch, I think it's got the same as the car, right around 134,000

It wouldn't go into first for love or money, shutting it down, sitting there with it on, nothin. And yeah, I had to get it going in third to get it home. Twice. The first time it did exactly what you would expect it to do - Clunkaclunkaclunka *stall* *die*. I managed the second time to balance...

It does! Haha, I dunno really.

If it's a Mustang, it is going to feel fast, even if it isn't up to par with some other vehicle. That's the whole idea of the designers. "Make them feel like they have power to take on the world in our design, styling, and colors." (Plus, MUSTANG = MUSCLE CAR = FAST to a lot of people) I've got...

I have a 2005 Mustang GT Premium coupe with the dreaded T5 transmission in it. I bought the car in January and it had a slight grinding in first, second and third gears, which was CONSIDERABLY louder (and was able to be felt through the shifter knob) when cold outside. Just three days ago the...

I've been going to this guy since I could (not quite legally) drive. My dad would have me take the old farm vehicles up to him. I trust him and have hung out with his family and kids more than once, he's like family.

Thank you for the metaphorical phrase, seeing as I am female. :D But yeah, I'll check that guy in Texas out soon, getting new Falkens on the car tomorrow with rotation, balancing, stem checks and a front axle alignment. Also gonna have them check out that bearing more closely, probably just go...

She's got 130,700 miles on her… I'm afraid it is the throwout. This tranny has been put through hell and back, the previous owners were using this car to basically be a street racer without illegal parts, and hard shifting/gear grinding were all happening. and oh yeah, they'll run without them...

Okay, so, on my 05 GT I'm hearing a grinding noise coming from my clutch, or moreover from in FRONT of my clutch. It's only happening mostly in first second and third gears, when I have the car IN gear. Depressing the clutch quiets it but it only truly stops when popped out into neutral. I have...
